Love 'em all!

The weekend has been very busy! There’s not much time for words lately but I always find time to record what I see through photographs. I am making time to share a few things I saw over the weekend before I mix the potato salad.All God’s Creatures,

Great

and small.

I Love Them All...

They test my picture-taking ability and

challenge my patience (an Untufted titmouse). I try harder.

They think and cause me to wonder.

They think some more and

ignore my requests

until they have success. I’m the one who’s baffled!

Some trust me too much. I’m not always very nice!

During quiet times, I sit in the grass. The rays of a sunset mesmerize me and illuminate the smallest detail.

They light up the vulture’s face

and the Chickadee in the shadows.

I sit, watch, and listen for the hummmm… The sun exposes it from where I sit.

It’s a Good Earth. I hope you have found time to watch and to connect with our extended family :o)

Hi Mary...Just popping in for a bit, taking a break from all the outside work to peek at your blog. I'm happy to see, that in spite of your busy day, you had a chance to treat us to more photos.As Lynne said, I love the sunshiney glow on the hummingbird too!Sure hope you get a chance to relax a bit tomorrow. Wishing aHappy Memorial Day to you and yours.

Catching up, the post below...feels like no time has passed at all, yes? I'm sorry you have that motherless child ache; I'm moved by your post and your realization that your loss was simultaneously her release.

Lovely tribute to Memorial Day, Mary. We were out at Ft. Logan National Cemetery this morning and it was so peaceful and moving with the flags decorating every grave. The new section with the Iraqi War soldiers' graves was especially sad to see. Your post reminds me to be especially grateful for the beauty we enjoy every day.
